Another bigback for his funeral

I stare at the silhouette of a cat tattooed on my wrist It’s always felt like my connection to Peter, my link to my home

But now it doesn’t only reht five years ago when I got ht-stand

Like any teenager, I wanted to rebel and do reckless things Soers do are per two reckless perly set things in motion that have somehow led me here

I wonder what Peter would do if he were here and he knehat’s going on

Would he have told otten into a fight over this?

If only Peter were here, I’d have someone on my side

Even though I’d spent a few years in the city after raduation, I kneanted to come back here one day Because Peter was here, Ashbourne was the one place in the world that felt like home to me

But now that I’m here, ironically, it feels like a hostile alien world

Where’s Sarah?

I called her cell phone, but she didn’t pick up I called the clinic, but Brian told me Sarah had already left

I was supposed to close up shop an hour ago, but I can’t lock up now What if she shows up?

I thought we’d be having dinner by now Instead, I’ve been waiting here, playing on ood restaurants are closing soon

But it doesn’tthis talk with her as soon as I see her, and I don’t care if we can do it in a nice place

I’ve been waiting since this afternoon to have this talk with her It’s been torture I don’t think I can stand waiting until toht to have the talk over a nice dinner

I turn off the lights Maybe Sarah changed herand went home to my place

It still doesn’t explain why her phone’s off, though If she’s home, it’s unlikely that she’d let her battery run out

But I can’t wait here any longer

If she’s not hoh all the streets in Ashbourne to find her

Adrenaline pu

I’m pretty sure she’s okay—she hasn’t been involved in an accident or so—because otherwise, I would’ve heard some news from the sheriff At this point, the whole nosey town knows she’s been living with me, after all
